The Station Strangler (Pt2): Many more in store

This is part two of the Station Strangler. If you haven’t listened to part one, start there. Last week we covered a series of murders, from 1986 to 1992, and I told you about ten young boys who were raped and strangled before being dumped in various sites near the train stations and in the sand dunes of Mitchell’s Plain and surrounds.

In early 1994, there had been a gap of over two years since the disappearance of any young boys had been definitively linked to the so-called Station Strangler, but soon we would learn that the nightmare was far from over. In January, just a single month, the bodies of eleven raped and murdered young victims would be found. This is what is known as the month of horror.
